God and Others

Biblical leadership can never be about you or me. Then what is our leadership about?

It’s about God. Every thought, word and action is focused on our God. We are to glorify Him, lift Him up, and point others to Him.

It’s also about others. The very idea of leading is about others. We are in the business of leading people. Our leadership is necessitated by helping others come to God.

If we really want to make a difference and leave a dynamic legacy, then we need to understand the nature and purpose of our leadership.

It is first about God and, second, it is about others.

A Refuge for Leaders…

God is our strength and refuge. As such, He is an ever present help when we face trouble.

When the trouble is one of loss: a friend, family member, position, possession, or health, God is our help, but where does this help come from?

From His word. Throughout scripture we find strength, comfort and guidance.
Through prayer. Scripture instructs us to cast all our cares upon Him, because He cares.
From others. One of the best ways leadership is demonstrated is helping those in need.

We receive a great peace from God when we apply these areas during times of trouble.
